It will be interesting to see how Eslick goes - if he's fast it's one thing - if he's slow it will be very telling.

His Buell team mechnics this year were former M4 Suzuki mehanics ,and Eslick was on the podium twice on a under funded Suzuki team in 2008 .

Exactly! The Team was basically Ulrich's people for hire and his shops doing the work.. Ulrich was meeting with GEICO yesterday working out the deal.

Heard a rumor through the So Cal racer grapevine, that Ulrich was involved in getting Suzukis to RMR. Personally, I hope Danny does really well. I'd like to see him prove himself without the brown cloud of Buell hanging over him.

And he went from 2 podiums to a title. Not quite the same.

He overrode the Matsushima Suzuki and was mixing it up at the front. He's competitive. Don't know if he's mature enough yet to win on a I4 600.

Buell to continue racing 1125s (sorry if a re-post; I don't 'live' here...):

Winters, how would you classify Blake Young's results in his wildcards? Just curious.

And if Aprilia sign Camier to the factory team, I may consider taking the Aprilia stickers off my bike.

You better start pulling off your Aprilia stickers off your bike ,because I just read Leon Camier was finaly confirmed as Aprilia's 2nd rider on the factory team .I read it on MCN.and BSN,but also on your favorite website GPone .

This is the first I'm reading it.

They are only running 3 or 4 rounds with Kagayama, but hopefully they are getting their feet wet for 2010. Yosh wants race superbikes, they aren't fond of this superstock crap.
